About Our Amazing Team
A Wagging Welcome!
Where tails wag, paws prance and communities connect.
For over 18 years, we’ve been proudly serving pets and their humans with integrity, transparency, and a heartfelt passion for what we do.
Founded in 2006 by two Ridgewood moms, Toba and Maria, Wag 4 Tails began as a small, meaningful venture to provide personalized pet care while raising their families. Today, it’s a trusted local business loved for its compassionate approach and unwavering dedication to your furry friends.
Community, Care & Connection
We believe in building connections through community – between neighbors, pets, and people. That’s why most of our team members are moms, dads, aunties, uncles, and friendly faces you might already know from your neighborhood. We’re not just dog walkers and pet carers; we’re family, connected by a shared love for animals and our community.
Meet the Wag 4 Tails Team!
Maria
Founder and Chief Pet Lover, Mom, Organizer, Coordinator, Problem Solver
Growing up in the country where stray dogs walk freely on the streets I have developed an early love for animals in need of care and affection. After years of growing career in accounting and then programming, raising two beautiful girls in between, I have found true passions unfold when started a dog walking with my best friend Toba in 2007.
Knowing that my job makes a difference in so many pet lives as well as “human” makes every work day fun and filled with gratitude for all the trust we are given.

I grew up with two dogs and a cat and I found that I didn’t want to go through life without being surrounded by some loving, furry friends 🙂 I volunteered at a dog shelter for a few years. Working as a dog walker gives me the experience to best care for your pets today.
I look forward to the opportunity to take care of and spend time with your pets!

Hi, I’m Regina! I love nature, especially bicycling, hiking, and reading. Music of all genres is a passion of mine. I’ve raised my family in Bergen County, surrounded by animals since childhood.
My family’s rescue dog, Champ, is a sweet adventurer, and all the pets I’ve cared for, including my two fun-loving bulldogs, hold a special place in my heart. Pets bring joy, unconditional love, and valuable lessons.
